Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for  this ARC.

This is the sequel to How To Kill Men and Get Away With It. It's a year later, Kitty Collins is happily shacked up with Charlie Chambers and has sworn off killing. Instead, she weekly attends Angry Women Anonymous, which is exactly how it sounds - women who have been given a hard time by toxic men gather to unload frustration. Kitty would love to kill the men in those women's lives but she won't because she's a new woman.

Unfortunately for her willpower, social media is full of misogynistic men displaying toxic masculinity of the ilk of Andrew Tate. One such bloke is someone calling himself Blaze Bundy, and for some unknown reason he targets Kitty in his videos. Who is he and what does he want with her? It'll be murder to find him.

Then her friend Tor gets involved with her therapist Dr Adrian Ward, she is being told about Max MacIntyre, a media personality who grooms young women, and her usually absent mother Carmella invites her to her wedding in France to a guy she's never heard of. Suddenly Kitty has her hands full.

I loved the first book which had a high body count. This one only manages three, as Kitty talks a lot about revenge but takes the first half of the book to get back into her groove, valiantly trying but ultimately failing to keep her bloodlust at bay. Also, I like the idea of revenge but not so much all the blood and gore, so whenever Kitty acted, I was first saying "Yay, finally!", closely followed by "Ewww!"

I liked how a mirror was held to how women are still treated in the legal system and how often misogynistic behaviour is ignored. The problem is real and the rage is real.

There were a lot of twists and turns but I thought the identity of Blaze Bundy was kind of predictable. However, this time Kitty got help from surprising quarters, and I was very ok with the happy endings for the Angry Women!

Recommended if you like books by C.J. Skuse, Julie Mae Cohen and Eve Kellman.
